I was lucky enough to see an original and unmolested 14bike co build in baby pink with matching spok in someone’s design studio recently. Looked like it hadn’t been ridden since 2011. It was a true shut up and take my money build in every sense.

At what time will the "retrofixed" revival start? When did old MTBs go from old to desirable?

I genuinely miss some of my early fixehbieks. They were all a bit scruffy but they all had more weekly miles than anything I’ve built since the apocalypse.

I don’t feel that much older than I did in 2009 but I doubt I’ve got the balls to fall out of a pub at 11pm and being completely on board with the idea of riding to Brighton shitfaced and brakless just to see the sun rise.

Feeling all nostalgic but my god we had some proper irl laughs on here back then.

I was telling someone the other day about how I missed my old Soma (that fucking wet, freezing Dunwich Dynamo!) and I dragged out a T.I. Raleigh jersey to sell that I never actually wore when I owned the T.I. Raleigh track bike.

I still ride the Condor to the pub and wobble home on it. It has a USE shock post on it now... because I want the frame finally snapping to be a real surprise...
